After having fucked around with a bunch of synth shit, I have found these three bits of software that give me wood:
1. FL Studios (formerly FruityLoops)
Studio-in-a-box with a gorgeous interface. VST host, great sequencer, effects, a few generators, etc. 50$ on the low end to 150$ with all the fixings.
2. SimSynth Live
Sounds somewhere between a minimoog and an oberheim (at least that's what they say). CHEAP at 35$. I liked this one because my unskilled self could actually get a wide variety of cool sounds to eminate from it, as it had a relatively simple interface. A demo of this comes with FL Studios.
3. Absynth
Holy FUCK this thing is amazing. It's orgasm of envelope editing capabilities are something like 2 generations beyond anything else I've played with. Nice interface, but hard to use (mainly due to the 2000lb gorilla fuckton of features and flexibility, and my lack of a manual). Expensivish (like most Native Instruments products) at 150$, but easily worth the price. Also happens to sound amazing.
